7 Thoughts Every OSU Student Had This Football Season

So the NCAA is going to give every Big 12 team a night game except for us?

7 Thoughts Every OSU Student Had This Football Season
The Odyssey

With our conference football season coming to a close this Saturday, I wanted to give some of my thoughts I have had this season. Maybe some of y'all had the same! Some thoughts are good, some are bad, that's just college football for you.

1. "Is College GameDay ever going to come to campus while I'm here?"

ESPN College GameDay is a HUGE deal. You get to make signs, get on TV, wake up really early to get a good spot...did I mention you could get on TV?

2. "What rank are we going to be this week?"

There were a few weeks when OSU wasn't ranked, but now we are ranked in the top ten (God bless the committee). Rankings depend on which bowl game each teams play, and I really want OSU to go to the Sugar Bowl again. I mean, it's in New Orleans, and I live eight hours away. Road trip?

3. "Why are the games in the morning or midafternoon?"

This one was the most asked question between us OSU fans because all anyone wanted was a night game. Is that too much to ask for, NCAA? I think being 9-2 is worth at least one night game!!

4. "What should I wear for the game?"

The first couple of games were pretty hot, so I knew what I was going to wear but wearing shorts...in October? This doesn't seem right. I shouldn't be worrying if my shorts are clean in mid-October.

5. "Where am I sitting?"

I'm one of those students who stands up the entire game, so I knew I wanted to sit pretty close, and every game I would be at least two rows behind the paddle people. Of course, my friends would help save the seats. Go friends!

6. "What's the quarter/score?"

I love football, but sometimes I would space out at the games. Also, if it was hot, I just wanted to know how much longer til I can go get a water at halftime. Sometimes they can go by fast but after every flag thrown it can get really really slow.

7. "What is offense/defense doing?"

Every game, the Cardiac Cowboys would do something that had me on edge. It was either fumbles and dropped passes or missing tackles and letting the opponent run up the middle. I always asked myself this question.

I'm sad that this season is coming to an end, but I'm happy with how the team did! Hopefully, there are a few night games next season, or at least before I graduate in 2020?

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
